06/11/2012
An old respected teacher of mine who read my column “Syndicated
hypocrisy” last Monday, June 4, wrote me a note advising that indeed it
is the height of hypocrisy for administration officials, especially
those within P-Noy’s inner circle to suddenly develop amnesia and start
issuing out all kinds of excuses to shield them from the growing clamor
for proper and responsible ‘”transparency and accountability” in public
service. No less than P-Noy himself has been asked to abide by his
campaign pledge to disclose his assets and issue an unconditional waiver
for the Ombudsman and related agencies to look into his bank accounts.

“This volte face, “my teacher insisted, “is not only in complete
disregard of P-Noy’s daang matuwid platform but a shameful
demonstration of the administration’s tendency to flip flop on matters
of critical concerns. It is disheartening and certainly does not augur
well for the “new beginnings” which P-Noy and his crew have been
trumpeting since day one of this administration.

A gentleman of
the old school who has spent most of his years in the academe is
especially critical of P-Noy’s spokesmen who have been issuing all kinds
of excuses and half baked statements not only about this latest turn
around but on such subjects as the imminent increase in power rates as
well as the “sin tax” bill..... MORESource: The Daily Tribune
